IT Support for Creatives

Macs have been the tool of choice for designers ever since they arrived on the scene in the mid-1980s. Tradition and technology, performance and style, plus the ability to seamlessly integrate with other Apple devices such as iPad and iPhone make them the ‘go to’ piece of hardware for most creatives.

Macs have been the tool of choice for designers ever since they arrived on the scene in the mid-1980s. Tradition and technology, performance and style, plus the ability to seamlessly integrate with other Apple devices such as iPad and iPhone make them the ‘go to’ piece of hardware for most creatives.

When it comes to customer satisfaction and reliability, these superb machines consistently top the charts over their PC rivals, but there are times however, when problems occur and that’s when professional Mac IT support is needed.

Whether you’re a design studio, publishing house, marketing and public relations agency or simply a successful business with Macs at its heart – the creative industry is always going to be driven by deadlines.

Speed of response to IT-related problems is critical and that’s where Central London based SupportPlan excels. As Mac experts, we understand the systems and software (Adobe, Quark and Extensis etc), and are well-versed in specialist areas such as colour management, document management, backup and archiving, image and media libraries.

We offer services, support and solutions for Macs and, once you’ve logged a call, we promise a callback from one of our Apple-certified Mac engineers within just one hour.

They are experts at solving problems remotely – 98% of the time problems are fixed online – and, on the rare occasions that’s not possible, one of our engineers can be with you in as little as two hours to get you up-and-running once again with the minimum disruption.

Our value-for-money Premium Support Plan plan includes free labour and free parts and even guarantees you loan equipment in the event we need to bring your machine back to base. We also offer a flexible Pay As You Go service.

And of course, because our engineers are experts at Disaster Prevention and Recovery (link to page) and leave nothing to chance, they will make sure all your precious files are backed up, enabling you to put the finishing touches to the latest magazines, finalise that exhibition-critical artwork and dazzle the Twitterati with your latest designs.

We work hard to help keep you and your technology at the forefront of the creative cutting edge.

Over 320 Satisfied Customers

All unforeseen problems were handled smoothly and calmly with the expertise of the engineers…[SupportPlan] sold me solutions and not technology.

Reginald Thompson, Conran Design Group Ltd

SupportPlan are fast, efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable. They have resolved any problems I have thrown their way and in quick time. I would recommend them to any company.

Design Manager, Colliers International

I rely on SupportPlan. Even though I’m able to carry out certain tasks, it’s reassuring to know that SupportPlan is on the other end of the phone if I need them for back up.

Neil Hickford, Four IV Design

I work in a very busy marketing team. Knowing that SupportPlan are there to help us, in case of any problems has always been reassuring. They proved it one day when my Mac broke down as I was facing a tough deadline. Not only did SupportPlan swiftly replace the faulty computer, but their engineer also transferred all my files to the new Mac, enabling me to get back to work right away.

I had the opportunity to work with your engineer via telephone today. I was so impressed with his helpfulness, knowledge and professionalism that I felt that I should send this email complement. Who ever hired him made the right decision. I will certainly be recommending your company to any other company I work with.

SupportPlan is unusual in that the ‘top man’ is much more hands on with his clients than in other comparable organisations and is happy to step in when required. The engineers are responsive in a crisis and devote themselves to solving the problem efficiently.

Irena St John-Brooks, Managing Director, Pension Publications Ltd

SupportPlan are a rare breed in that they genuinely understand creative agencies and how we use IT in the business. They provide all our day-to-day IT support in a seamless and proactive way as well as advising us at a strategic level.

We were very impressed not only by the promptness of response but also by the consistency for the support…our Mac users were able to build up a strong working relationship with the regular team of experts from SupportPlan.

Richard Swann, IT Manager, Institute of Directors

I thoroughly recommend SupportPlan for whatever creative IT needs you may have…their expert knowledge is worth their weight in gold, let alone the service and range of services they back this up with. They are and always will be constant to my working life, as they have never let me down.

Neil Carter, Studio Manager, Penna Plc.

It’s reassuring to know that I have the breadth of skills of the SupportPlan team to back me up when I need them.

I have no hesitation recommending SupportPlan. They have maintained our computers for 12 years and they have ensured that any problems are resolved on the same day so we experienced as little down time during working hours.
